I looked at my hands that are full of dark mehndi. My hands are smelling like mehndi, and in the sunlight, they are looking more beautiful.

Whenever I walk, my anklets make a sound, and I love the sound of my anklets and my bangles. On my neck, there is a pendant that my mother gave me and the nuptial chain that Evan gave me yesterday.

I am standing on the balcony looking at the streets. And some street pets that are roaming with hungry stomachs and hungry for love.

I looked behind me and saw Evan was sleeping because it was only five in the morning, and I woke up early because of the uncomfortable dry mehndi. So I took a bath and washed my Mehandi.

"I slid the glass door and closed it. I again looked at him and waved my hand in front of his Closed eyes. I wiped my invisible sweats and left the room".

All the house is Silent everyone is sleeping. I make my way towards the kitchens. I opened my phone and saw the closet shop. I looked back and saw my flats and left the house.

"I walk into the empty streets. The cold breeze kisses my face. I pushed the door of the shop and asked for dog and cat food"

He gave me the small packets of food and put them inside the plastic bag. I gave him money and left the shop.

"It only takes five minutes to come back from the shop. I hope no one shouted at me for leaving the house without telling anyone. Will they shout at me? If they find out that I left the house. To buy food for street pets. I found the plastic plates inside the kitchen cabinet".

I Whistle for a few seconds and all the dog comes around me. Most of the dogs and two and three-street cats.

"Hey, what's up"? I say to them, caressing their heads one by one.

"Are you hungry"? I say, and all of them bark like they understand what I am saying.

"Shhh! Don't make a sound. It's early in the morning", I told them and put the plate full of dogs on the side of the street.

And the other side is for cats. I pick up the random cats who are roaming in the streets carefully.

"Hey, I put the food for you"! I say to her and make her eat the food.

I looked at them for some time and left because it was already six in the morning, and I had to go back to my room.

I threw the empty packets on the dustbin and entered the house, taking off my flats and slowly entering the room. He is still sleeping but not in the same position I left him.

"I wash my hands and lay down on the bed. Close my eyes. No matter how many hours I slept, I always felt sleepy. What type of person am I"?

I woke up when I heard my phone rang. I lazily sat on the bed, rubbing my eyes, and saw the caller ID of my dad.
